As pin-pointed quite correctly in this blog post, one of the most important steps to keep your computer running fast for longer period of times is defragmentation. Windows comes with a built-in defragmenter. And like many of the default accessories in it, the defragmenter is also a huge disappointment. So here is a faster and free defragmenter called MyDefrag.
Whats Defragmentation?
About MyDefrag
MyDefrag optimizes files, so that the files used regularly are stored at the beginning of the hard-disk (which is the more faster part of the hard-disk as compared to the rest of it.) Optimization will also bring all the files together in one place.
The increased speed translates to a longer life for your hard-disk as the disk will have less work to do and therefore have less wear and tear.
Features of MyDefrag:
- Free!
- Super-fast (as compared to many other defragmenters)
- Many options
- Different defragmentation methods for system disk and data disk
- Ability to defragment Flash drives as well
The default installer comes with a set of easy to use scripts for end-users, a scripting engine for demanding users, a screensaver, and a combined Windows plus command line version.
You can download the software from here. For more information visit it’s site – mydefrag.com or wikipedia page.
